hi, what OS are you running?

in wsjt-x, the slider only adjusts ‘within’ the program itself.
it isn’t the operating system volume ‘absolute’

so you should look at the volume settings of the OS itself and set the output (digirig) at 100%.

that should give you better control with the wsjt-x slider and get you to full power out from the radio.

lastly, i’m not familiar with the ft-857 but there might be an input gain setting in the menu of the radio.
something like line in or data in or similar.
that may need to be increased as well.

good luck
